After seeing off Granada and Sevilla, Barça are now making plans to make it three wins out of three against Andalusian opposition in the space of just six days. Yes, it’s Málaga next on Saturday at 8.45pm CET, and with no time for rest, it was straight back to the training ground on Thursday morning for the first of just two sessions before it’s back into match action again.

All of the available players were in attendance, with Wednesday’s rain clouds now far off in the distance and the Catalonian sun shining down on the Ciutat Esportiva. Luis Enrique also called on the services of three members of the reserve team squad: Kaptoum, Carbonell and Carles Aleñá, the latter fresh from making his Camp Nou debut the night before.

The main focus was on recovery from the previous evening’s exertions, meaning there is only time for one ‘regular’ workout, at the same time and place on Friday (11.00am CET), which will be followed by the manager giving a press conference to discuss the trip to the Costa del Sol the day after.

Manzano as the ref, sigh. On the other hand everyone is bad nowadays.
We need to win this natch and hope Atletico can atleast draw Real.
Then el classico becomes a must win where we can take over.
Its a difficult task but we should continue to try and do it.
Depor loss realky hurt us. Hopefully we wont see many bad lucho rotations.

I think Lucho still rates Gumbau somewhat still, not as highly as he did a year ago however. I seen him get called up to train a few times this season with the main team but that's about it.

Carbonell has a Sergi Roberto feel to him in a good way tbh and it's no surprise Lucho likes him. and Alena, who wouldn't call him up? He's the biggest talent we got coming through the system that's close to the first team and Lucho rates him highly.
